The present invention relates to a banknote identification counting device and a banknote identification counting method for identifying and counting banknotes.

Background Art Conventionally, various types have been used as banknote identification counting devices for identifying and counting banknotes. Generally, a banknote identification counting apparatus is provided with a mounting part in which a banknote is placed and the mounted banknotes are fed out one by one into the inside of the box body, and provided inside the box body, and the box body is placed on the box body. An identification counting unit for identifying and counting the bills fed out therein and an accumulation unit for sending and accumulating the bills identified and counted by the identification counting unit are provided. In addition, a reject part is provided in such a banknote identification counting apparatus, and this reject part is a banknote (such as a false right) judged not to be a true right by the identification counting unit, or a banknote which was not able to determine the gold type. Banknotes that could not be identified by the identification or counting unit are sent as reject banknotes. The accumulation unit and the reject unit are each accessible from the outside, and the operator is able to take out the bills accumulated in the accumulation unit or the reject unit to the outside of the box body.

Here, among the bills to be identified and counted by the identification counter, dirty bills (hereinafter also referred to as "polluting rights"), bills due to abnormalities of conveyance such as chains, meanderings, and heavy conveyances (hereinafter, Is called a conveyance abnormality ticket), when the authenticity judgment is made based on the identification result of the banknote by the identification counting unit, the kind cannot be judged, or it is incorrectly judged as a false authority and may be sent to the rejecting unit. The polluted right and conveyance abnormality ticket sent to such a reject part are manually counted by an operator, and the manually counted polluted right or conveyance abnormality counting result is added by hand input to the true winding count result.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-265288 (JP2004-265288A) has a plurality of authenticity determination levels for authenticity determination of banknotes, and a currency processing apparatus for identifying and counting banknotes while changing the authenticity determination level is provided. Is disclosed. Further, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-3665 (JP2008-3665A), when performing the authenticity determination of banknotes, the result of manually inputting the counting result of the rejected banknote by the normal coefficient and the level of authenticity determination are reduced. Disclosed is a banknote processing system in which reject banknotes are identified by an identification unit to compare the counting results of banknotes determined as true windings, and when the two coincide with each other, the receipt of banknotes is confirmed.

FIG.

First, the basic operation of the banknote identification counting device 10 will be described.

First, the operator mounts the bill P on which the counting is to be performed in the stacking unit 14 in a stacked state. Thereafter, when the operator presses the START / STOP keys 32c and 32g of the operation display unit 32 to give the counting start instruction of the banknote P to the control unit 50, the operator 14 is stacked in the placing unit 14. The bills P placed are fed out to the conveyance part 22 in the box body 12 by the drawing part 16 one by one from the banknote P in the lowest layer in order, and this conveyance part 22 Is returned. At this time, the banknote P is identified and counted by the identification counting unit 24. And the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting part 24 is sent to the control part 50, and the control part 50 judges a banknote based on this identification result. Here, the banknote P determined as authentic by the control part 50 is further conveyed by the conveyance part 22, and is sent to the accumulating part 26 by the branch part 31. FIG. On the other hand, the banknote P 'which was determined not to be genuine by the control part 50 is further conveyed by the conveyance part 22, and is sent to the reject part 30 by the branch part 31. FIG. In addition, when the banknote P 'is sent to the reject section 30, the reject lamp 32s is turned on. Details of the "banknote P determined as genuine" and "banknote P 'determined as not authentic" will be described below.

The detail of the determination of banknote by the control part 50 is demonstrated below. As a 1st aspect of the determination of the banknote by the control part 50, the control part 50 makes the authenticity determination of the banknote P based on the identification result of the banknote P sent from the identification counting part 24, The authenticity judgment threshold value is used as the judgment threshold value when the authenticity judgment of the banknote P is performed. This authenticity determination threshold value is set in plurality so as to correspond to each sensor which comprises the identification coefficient part 24. As shown in FIG. More specifically, when the banknote P is identified by the identification counting unit 24, the sensors (line sensor 24b, magnetic array 24d, etc.) constituting the identification counting unit 24 are used. By this, detection values IR1, IR2, and MG1 are calculated, and each detection value is compared with an authenticity determination threshold value corresponding to each sensor, respectively. And when all the detected values are larger than the authenticity determination threshold value corresponding to each sensor, it is determined that this banknote P is true winding, and at this time, this banknote P is determined to be genuine. On the other hand, when at least one detection value of the detection values calculated by each sensor which comprises the identification coefficient part 24 is smaller than the authenticity determination threshold value corresponding to each sensor, this banknote P is not a true ticket. It is judged that it is a false power, and at this time, this banknote P is determined not to be genuine. In addition, when conveyance abnormality, such as chaining, meandering, and heavy conveyance, occurs in conveyance of banknote P by conveyance part 22, conveyance abnormality of banknote P is detected by identification counting part 24, At this time, it is determined that this banknote P is not genuine.

As a 2nd aspect of the determination of the banknote by the control part 50, the control part 50 makes the paper type judgment of the banknote P based on the identification result of the banknote P sent from the identification counting part 24, In this case, the gold type determination threshold value is used for each gold type of the banknote P as the determination threshold value when performing such a paper type determination of the banknote P. FIG. A denomination determination threshold value corresponding to each denomination is provided in plural so as to correspond to each sensor constituting the identification coefficient unit 24. More specifically, when the banknote P is identified by the identification counter 24, detection values IR1, IR2, MG1 are calculated by each sensor constituting the identification counter 24, and each detection is performed. The value is compared with the gold type determination threshold value for each gold type corresponding to each sensor. And when all the detected values are larger than the gold grade determination threshold of the specific gold grade corresponding to each sensor, it is determined that this banknote P is a banknote of the said specific gold grade, and at this time, this banknote P is genuine Is determined. On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote P does not correspond to any banknote when the comparison between such a detected value and the gold species determination threshold of each gold species is performed, it is determined that the banknote P is not genuine. In addition, when conveyance abnormality, such as chaining, meandering, and heavy conveyance, occurs in conveyance of banknote P by conveyance part 22, conveyance abnormality of banknote P is detected by identification counting part 24, At this time, it is determined that this banknote P is not genuine.

As a 3rd aspect of the determination of the banknote by the control part 50, the control part 50 is based on the identification result of the banknote P sent from the identification counting part 24, and the authenticity determination and the paper type judgment of the banknote P. Both of them are performed, and the authenticity judgment threshold is used as the judgment threshold when the authenticity judgment and the denomination judgment of the banknote P are used, and the denomination judgment threshold value is used for each denomination of the banknote P. . As mentioned above, the authenticity determination threshold value and the denomination determination threshold value corresponding to each denomination are provided in multiple numbers so as to correspond to each sensor which comprises the identification coefficient part 24, respectively. More specifically, when the banknote P is identified by the identification counter 24, detection values IR1, IR2, MG1 are calculated by each sensor constituting the identification counter 24, and each detection is performed. The value is compared with the authenticity determination threshold value corresponding to each sensor, and also with the denomination determination threshold value for every denomination type corresponding to each sensor. And if all the detected values are larger than the authenticity determination threshold corresponding to each sensor, respectively, and all the detected values are larger than the gold grade determination threshold of the specific gold grade each corresponding to each sensor, this banknote P Is determined to be a certain kind of paper money along with authenticity. At this time, this banknote P is determined to be genuine. On the other hand, when comparing the detected value with the authenticity judgment threshold value and the gold grade determination threshold value of each gold type, when the banknote P is determined not to be the real ticket, or the banknote P is applied to any gold type banknote. When it is determined that it does not correspond, it is determined that this banknote P is not genuine. In addition, when conveyance abnormality, such as chaining, meandering, and heavy conveyance, occurs in conveyance of banknote P by conveyance part 22, conveyance abnormality of banknote P is detected by identification counting part 24, At this time, it is determined that this banknote P is not genuine.

As a determination method of the banknote by the control part 50, the aspect in any one of the 1st-3rd aspect mentioned above is used.

Based on the identification result by the identification counting part 24, the banknote P determined by the control part 50 as the genuine banknote P is conveyed further by the conveyance part 22, and the branch part 31 is carried out. It is sent to the accumulator 26 by. At this time, the banknote P is sent one by one from the conveyance part 22 to the impeller 28a of the impeller type | mold accumulation mechanism 28, and this impeller 28a is a banknote (sent from the conveyance part 22). P is received between the two blades 28b, and the banknote P received between the blades 28b is sent to the accumulation unit 26. In this way, the banknote P can be aligned to the accumulation part 26 by the vane type | mold accumulation mechanism 28 in alignment. Since the opening is provided in the front face of this accumulating part 26, an operator can take out the banknote P integrated in the accumulating part 26 through this opening.

On the other hand, based on the identification result by the identification counting part 24, the banknote P 'determined as not genuine by the control part 50 is conveyed further by the conveyance part 22, and the branch part 31 is carried out. It is sent to the reject part 30 by. Since the opening is provided in front of this reject part 30, an operator can take out the banknote P 'integrated in the reject part 30 through this opening.

In the 1st type of money mixing deposit mode, an operator places the banknote P in the mounting part 14 in the state which mixed the types of money. And in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10, counting of the banknote P in which the banknotes were mixed is calculated, and the longevity and the amount of money of each banknote P of the banknote P are calculated. In addition, in the 2nd type of money mixing deposit mode, similarly to the 1st type of money mixing payment mode, the operator places the banknote P on the placing part 14 in the state which mixed the types of money, and puts it into the banknote identification counting apparatus 10. In this case, counting of the paper money P in which the gold paper is mixed is performed, and the number of sheets and the amount of money of each gold paper of the paper money P are calculated. Here, in the 2nd money denomination mixed-transfer mode, the banknote of the banknote P of the banknote P determined by the control part 50 based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting part 24 processed one sheet ago. When it differs from the gold type of (P), the process of the banknote P in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 is stopped once. For example, when the bill P is divided by the gold type at the checkout counter of the store, when the bill identification identification device 10 is operated in the second gold type mixed deposit mode, the respective gold types stored in the checkout counter of the store, etc. When collectively counting the bills P of the bills by the bill identification counting device 10, when the bill of papers P superimposed for each kind of paper is to be performed by the bill identification counting device 10, whenever the bills of paper differ. Since the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 pauses, convenience becomes favorable for an operator.

In the two-finish paper mode, a plurality of bills P are placed on the placing unit 14 in a stacked state, and the bills P are drawn out one by one into the box body 12 by the feeding unit 16. When the identification and counting of the banknote P are performed by the identification counting unit 24, the paper type of the banknote P which is fed into the box body 12 after the second sheet and identified by the identification counting unit 24 In the case where the number of paper money P is the same as that of the paper money P which is first drawn into the box body 12 and identified by the identification counting part 24, the count of the paper money P is determined by the identification counting part 24. In addition to this, this banknote P is sent to the accumulator 26. On the other hand, after the second sheet, the paper type of the banknote P which is fed into the box body 12 and identified by the identification counting unit 24 is first fed into the box body 12 to identify the counting unit ( When different from the paper type of the banknote P identified by 24, this banknote P is not counted by the identification counting part 24, but is sent to the reject part 30. As shown in FIG. And in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10, the banknote P of only the same kind of paper money as the same kind of paper money of the 1st banknote first fed to the inside of the box body 12, and identified by the identification counting part 24, Calculate longevity and amount.

In addition, in the counting mode, the identification counting unit 24 does not identify the kind or the like of the bill P, but merely counts the bill P.

Next, the coefficient processing function will be described. As the counting processing function, there are provided seven functions of a batch function, front and back alignment function, orientation alignment function, designation stop function, batch integration function, addition function, and hand input function.

A batch function is used when performing the batch process of banknote P. FIG. More specifically, in the batching function, when the above-mentioned first type of gold mixture deposit mode or the second type of gold species mixing deposit mode is used, the number of sheets of bills P counted by the identification counting unit 24 is preset. Each time the number of batches is reached, the count of the banknote P by the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 is once stopped. In the case of using the 1st Kind money mixture deposit mode or the 2nd Kind money mixture deposit mode, the total number of sheets of the plurality of gold species or the number of sheets according to the gold species is set as the number of batches.

In addition, in the batch function, when the above-mentioned two kinds of paper money modes are used, every time the number of sheets of the bill P counted by the identification counting unit 24 reaches the preset batch number, the banknote identification counting device ( The count of the banknote P by 10) is once stopped. Here, in the case of using the two kinds of paper types mode, the number of sheets to be set is set to the same number of sheets for all kinds of paper, or to set the number of sheets for each kind of paper. In addition, in the batch function, when the counting mode described above is used, each time the number of sheets of the bill P counted by the identification counting unit 24 reaches the preset batch number, the banknote identification counting device 10 The count of the banknote P by) is stopped once. In the case where the counting mode is used, only the longevity is simply set as the number of batches.

The front and back alignment function is used when the direction of the front and back direction of banknote P is matched. More specifically, in the front and back alignment function, a plurality of banknotes P are placed on the placing unit 14 in a stacked state, and the banknotes P are arranged one by one by the feeding unit 16 of the box body 12. When the banknote P is fed into the inside and the banknote P is identified and counted by the identification counting unit 24, the banknotes fed out into the box body 12 after the second sheet and identified by the identification counting unit 24 ( When the direction of the front and back of P is the same as the direction of the front and back of the banknote P, which is first drawn out into the box body 12 and identified by the identification counting unit 24, the banknote P is an accumulation unit. Is sent to (26). On the other hand, after the second sheet, the direction of the front and back of the banknote P fed out into the box body 12 and identified by the identification counting unit 24 is first fed out into the box body 12 to identify the identification coefficient. When it differs from the direction of the front and back of the banknote P identified by the part 24, this banknote P is sent to the reject part 30. As shown in FIG.

The orientation function is used when aligning the direction of the banknote P in the longitudinal direction or the width direction. More specifically, in the orientation function, the plurality of bank notes P are placed on the placing unit 14 in a stacked state, and the banknotes P are arranged one by one by the feeding unit 16 of the box body 12. When the banknote P is fed into the inside and the banknote P is identified and counted by the identification counting unit 24, the banknotes fed out into the box body 12 after the second sheet and identified by the identification counting unit 24 ( When the direction in the longitudinal direction or the width direction of P) is first drawn into the box body 12 and is the same as the longitudinal direction or the direction in the width direction of the banknote P identified by the identification counting unit 24, This banknote P is sent to the accumulator 26. On the other hand, the direction in the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the banknote P which is drawn out after the second sheet into the box body 12 and identified by the identification counting unit 24 firstly moves into the box body 12. When it differs from the direction of the longitudinal direction or the width direction of the banknote P drawn out and identified by the identification counting part 24, this banknote P is sent to the reject part 30. As shown in FIG.

The designated denomination-denomination function is used when removing the banknote P of the designated denomination class previously set. More specifically, in the designated denomination removal function, a plurality of banknotes P are placed on the placing unit 14 in a stacked state, and the banknotes P are stacked one by one by the feeding unit 16. When the paper type of the banknote P identified by the identification counting unit 24 is a predetermined designated gold type when the identification is made and the counting of the banknote P is performed by the identification counting unit 24, The banknote P is sent to the reject portion 30. On the other hand, when the gold type of the banknote P identified by the identification counting unit 24 is not a predetermined designated gold type, the banknote P is sent to the accumulation unit 26.

The batch integration function is used when performing the batch processing of the banknote P in the case of using the above-mentioned two kinds of paper types mode. More specifically, in the batch integration function, each time the number of sheets of the bill P counted by the identification counting unit 24 reaches the preset batch number when the two kinds of papers mode are used, the banknote identification counting device The count of the banknote P by (10) is once stopped. And counting result of banknote P in the batch process every time is integrated.

An addition function is a function which adds the sum total of the count result for every process of banknote P in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10. FIG. In addition, the hand input function is a function of manually correcting the counting result of the banknote P by the identification counting unit 24 by the keys 32b to 32m of the operation display unit 32.

Next, the setting function will be described. The setting function is a function in which an operator performs various settings in the operation mode of the banknote identification counting device 10 by the operation display unit 32. In such a setting function, the SHIFT key 32b, C (clear) key 32d, MENU (menu) key 32f, C (clear) key 32h, and START of the operation display unit 32 are displayed. / STOP (start / end) key (32c, 32g), ACCEPT (confirm) key (32e, 32i), F1 (first function) key (32j), F2 (second function) key (32k), F3 (second) By pressing the 3 function key 32l and the F4 (4th function) key 32m, the operator can make various settings. In addition, the ACCEPT (confirmation) keys 32e and 32i and the START / STOP (start / end) keys 32c and 32g are used to set the contents selected by the other keys.

Next, the double head function will be described. The double head function means a function of data management for two operators. When the operator turns on the double head specification by the operation display unit 32, the double head function can be used. When the two-headed specification is turned ON, in the control unit 50, various data such as count data, TOTAL data, user setting data, batch setting data, etc. of the bill P are used by two operators. In addition, these data can be easily switched by key operation by the operation display unit 32. More specifically, when the double head function is used, in the control unit 50, for example, dollar bills are assigned to the first operator, euro bills are assigned to the second operator, and the dollar bills and euro bills are assigned to each of them. For example, data such as coefficient data, TOTAL data, user setting data, batch setting data, and the like are used.

There exist various types of patterns of double head operation using the double head function as shown below.

For example, as a first pattern of double head operation, the double head specification is used in local operation (that is, operation in which the banknote identification counting device 10 is used as a unit and not connected to a host device such as a host computer). In the case of using, the two operation operators use the operation display unit 32 individually. In this case, the ACCEPT (confirmation) key 32e and the START / STOP (start / end) key 32c on the right side of the display portion 32p are used by the first operator and the ACCEPT (left) on the left side of the display portion 32p is used. The key 32i and the START / STOP key 32g are to be used by the second operator. Here, the first operation portion is configured by the ACCEPT key 32e and the START / STOP key 32c, and the ACCEPT key 32i and the START / STOP key. The second operation portion is configured by 32g. In addition, the RIGHT (right) lamp 32u lights up when the first operator uses the operation display unit 32, while the LEFT (left) lamp 32w lights up when the second operator uses the operation display unit 32. It is supposed to be.

In addition, as a second pattern of double head operation, there may be a case where the double head operation is performed by the local (banknote identification counting device 10) and the host device. In other words, the first operator performs the operation on the operation display unit 32 of the banknote identification counting device 10, and the second operator performs the operation on the operation unit of the host apparatus. In this case, it is possible to smoothly switch between on-line and off-line by individually setting the local (banknote identification counting device 10) and the host device individually by user setting.

Moreover, as a 3rd pattern of double head operation, online operation may be performed by connecting two upper apparatuses to the banknote identification counting apparatus 10. FIG. That is, the first operator and the second operator each perform an operation on the operation unit of the corresponding host device. In this case, data is first transmitted to the host apparatus connected to the banknote identification counting apparatus 10.

In addition, as a fourth pattern of double head operation, there is also a case in which both of the data are printed to one print unit 34 when the double head operation as described above is performed.

In addition, as a fifth pattern of double head operation, as a determination threshold value used for identification of the banknote P by the identification counting unit 24, two types of normal counting and relaxation counting are prepared. In addition to using the determination threshold for coefficients, the second operator may use the determination threshold for relaxation coefficients. When performing such two head operation, two operators are to use the operation display part 32 separately. In this case, the ACCEPT (confirmation) key 32e and the START / STOP (start / end) key 32c on the right side of the display portion 32p are used by the first operator and the ACCEPT (left) on the left side of the display portion 32p is used. The key 32i and the START / STOP key 32g are to be used by the second operator. The fifth pattern of such two head operation will be described later in detail.

Next, the characteristic operation | movement in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated below. In the characteristic operation | movement of such banknote identification counting apparatus 10, first, the normal counting of banknote P is performed, and then the banknote P sent to the reject part 30 by the normal counting of banknote P. ′), A relaxation coefficient having a lower level of authenticity judgment or gold seed determination than the normal coefficient is performed.

When the characteristic operation | movement of the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated briefly, first, the banknote P is thrown in the inside of the box 12, and the identification and counting of this banknote P are carried out. This is performed by the identification counting unit 24. And based on the identification result of banknote P by the identification coefficient part 24, the banknote P is judged using a 1st judgment threshold value, and a banknote is based on the judgment result of banknote P. (P) is selectively sent to the accumulation section 26 or the reject section 30. And the banknote P sent to the reject part 30 is mounted in the mounting part 14, and the banknote P mounted in this mounting part 14 is again put inside the box body 12. As shown in FIG. Thereafter, the identification counting unit 24 performs identification and counting of the banknote P put again inside the box body 12. And based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting part 24, the banknote P is judged using the 2nd judgment threshold value smaller than a 1st judgment threshold value. And the control part 50 uses the count result of the banknote P determined as genuine when the banknote P was judged using the 1st determination threshold value, and the banknote P using the 2nd determination threshold value. Is determined, the information related to the sum total of the count result of the banknote P which was really judged is output. Here, the mode in which the judgment of the banknote P is performed using the first judgment threshold is relaxed in the normal counting mode, and the mode in which the judgment of the banknote P is determined using the second judgment threshold smaller than the first judgment threshold. Set to counting mode.

The characteristic operation | movement of the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 as mentioned above is demonstrated first using FIG. 7 about the detail of a 1st determination threshold value and a 2nd determination threshold value. As shown in FIG. 7, as a 1st judgment threshold value and a 2nd judgment threshold value, it is for the kind judgment of the banknote P (gold type judgment threshold value), and for authenticity determination of the banknote P (authentication) Judgment threshold). Further, a plurality of first determination thresholds for the type determination and the authenticity determination are set so as to correspond to each sensor constituting the identification coefficient unit 24. Here, the numerical value of the column of "IR1" in FIG. 7 is the determination threshold value compared with the detection value IR1 calculated by the line sensor 24b, and the numerical value of the column of "IR2" in FIG. It is a determination threshold compared with the detection value IR2 calculated by the line sensor 24b, and the numerical value of the column of "MG1" in FIG. 7 is compared with the detection value MG1 calculated by the magnetic array 24d. Is the threshold.

The second determination threshold is different in magnitude depending on the mode in the above-described counting mode function. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the gold type mixed deposit mode (the 1st gold type mixed deposit mode or the 2nd gold type mixed deposit mode) or the different seed type mode is used, the 2nd judgment threshold value is a banknote P It becomes 0 in both cases of the thing used for the denomination of grades (gold grade determination threshold), and the thing for the authenticity determination of the banknote P (the authenticity determination threshold value). In the case where the second determination threshold value is 0, when the banknote P is identified by the identification counting unit 24 using the second determination threshold value, banknotes other than the conveyance banknote P other than the conveyance ( All of P) is determined to be genuine and is sent to the accumulation unit 26. In addition, when the threshold value for each determination is 0 as a 2nd determination threshold value, each determination may be skipped and not performed. On the other hand, when these modes are not used, the second determination threshold is for the determination of the denomination of the paper money P (gold species determination threshold), and for the determination of the authenticity of the paper money P (true determination threshold). In both cases, each value is smaller than the first determination threshold, specifically, a value of half size, for example. Thus, since the 2nd determination threshold value is smaller than the 1st determination threshold value, the level of the authenticity judgment and the kind judgment of the banknote P will become low, and even if the banknote P which is not determined to be genuine in the normal counting mode is entered into the relaxation coefficient mode. The case judged to be genuine occurs.

Moreover, in the control part 50 of the banknote identification counting apparatus 10, the transaction counter and the total counter are provided, respectively. The transaction counter and the cumulative counter will be described below. The transaction counter and the cumulative counter are each set to zero in the initial state, and the banknote P is counted by the identification counter 24 when counting the banknote P in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10. Each time, the transaction counter is increased by one. The cumulative counter is a cumulative total of each transaction counter in a plurality of transactions. Here, a plurality of transaction counters are provided for each kind. As the transaction counter, one corresponding to the first determination threshold and one corresponding to the second determination threshold are provided. That is, when the banknote P is a one-dollar bill when the banknote P is identified by the identification counting unit 24 using the first judgment threshold value, the banknote P corresponds to the first judgment threshold value. The trading counter of the dollar bill increases by one. Similarly, a plurality of cumulative counters are provided for each kind. As the cumulative counter, one corresponding to the first determination threshold and one corresponding to the second determination threshold are provided.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the transaction end processing in the banknote identification counting device 10 shown in FIG. 1 and the like. When the operator gives the control unit 50 an instruction of the transaction end processing by the operation display unit 32, first, the transaction counter corresponding to the first determination threshold is added to the cumulative counter corresponding to the first determination threshold. (STEP 1) Further, the transaction counter corresponding to the second determination threshold is added to the cumulative counter corresponding to the second determination threshold (STEP 2). Next, the transaction counter corresponding to the first determination threshold is cleared, and the transaction counter is set to 0 which is an initial state (STEP 3). In addition, the transaction counter corresponding to the second determination threshold value is cleared, and the transaction counter is set to 0 which is an initial state (STEP 4). In this way, when the transaction end processing is performed, the transaction counter in one transaction is added to the cumulative counter for each kind and for each judgment threshold, and the transaction counter for each class and for each judgment threshold is cleared and the initial state. Is 0.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of cumulative clear processing in the banknote identification counting device 10 shown in FIG. 1 and the like. When the operator gives the control unit 50 an instruction for cumulative clearing processing by the operation display unit 32, the cumulative counter corresponding to the first determination threshold is cleared, and the cumulative counter is set to 0 as an initial state (STEP). One). Further, the cumulative counter corresponding to the second determination threshold value is cleared, and the cumulative counter is set to 0 which is an initial state (STEP 2). In this manner, when the cumulative clearing process is performed, the cumulative counter of each gold species and each determination threshold value is cleared, and the initial state is 0.

Next, the flow of the characteristic operation | movement of the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated in more detail using the flowchart shown to FIG. 8 and FIG.

In carrying out one transaction, first, the operator mounts the bill P on which the counting should be performed in the stacking unit 14 in a stacked state. After that, the operator gives the control unit 50 a count start command of the banknote P by the START / STOP keys 32c and 32g of the operation display unit 32. Here, at the start of counting the banknote P, the transaction counter corresponding to the first judgment threshold and the transaction counter corresponding to the second judgment threshold are 0 in the initial state, respectively ("YES" in STEP 1), so that the processing The normal counting mode using the first determination threshold is set as the mode (STEP 6). And the banknote P mounted by the mounting part 14 in the lamination | stacking state is carried out to the conveyance part 22 in the box body 12 by the feeding part 16 one by one from the banknote P in the lowest layer in order. It is drawn out and conveyed by this conveyance part 22 (STEP 8). At this time, the identification counter 24 identifies and counts the banknote P (STEP 9). Since the processing mode is the normal counting mode ("YES" in STEP 10), the control unit 50 uses the first determination threshold based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting unit 24. The banknote P is judged (STEP 11). Here, the control part 50 performs both the authenticity determination of the banknote P or the denomination determination, or the authenticity determination and the denomination determination. When the banknote P is determined to be genuine by the control unit 50 ("YES" in STEP 13), the conveyance unit 22 sends the banknote P to the accumulation unit 26, and the accumulation unit 26. ), The banknote P is integrated (STEP 14). At this time, since the first judgment threshold is used as the judgment threshold ("YES" in STEP 16), the transaction counter associated with the paper stock of this banknote P corresponding to the first judgment threshold is increased by one. (STEP 17). On the other hand, when it is determined by the control part 50 that banknote P is not genuine ("NO" of STEP 13), the conveyance part 22 sends banknote P 'to the reject part 30. FIG. (STEP 15). Such an operation is repeatedly performed until the banknote P disappears from the mounting part 14 ("NO" of STEP 19). Then, when all the bills P placed in the stacked state on the placing unit 14 are fed into the box body 12 and the banknote P disappears from the placing unit 14 ("YES" in STEP 19), the control unit 50 outputs the sum of the trading counter corresponding to the first determination threshold and the trading counter corresponding to the second determination threshold (STEP 20). At this time, since the transaction counter associated with each class of money corresponding to the second judgment threshold value is 0, the control unit 50 substantially outputs only the transaction counter related to each class of money corresponding to the first judgment threshold value. Next, the recount of the banknote P shown below is performed.

In recounting the banknote P, the operator mounts the banknote P 'sent to the reject section 30 in the counting mode in the stacking state 14 in the normal counting mode. Here, since the transaction counter corresponding to the first determination threshold is not 0 by the above-described normal counting mode ("NO" in STEP 1), the banknotes sent to the reject unit 30 in the normal counting mode ( In P '), a judgment is made as to whether or not it is a banknote determined not to be genuine due to an abnormality of money or an authenticity. When the banknote P 'conveyed to the reject part 30 in the last coefficient is a banknote determined not to be genuine because of a denomination or more authenticity ("YES" in STEP 2), the operation display unit 32 Guidance (guide) is displayed on the display part 32p in the fact that the banknote P should be counted in the relaxation coefficient mode (STEP 3). On the other hand, when the banknote P 'sent to the reject part 30 in the normal counting mode contains banknotes other than banknotes which are determined not to be genuine because of gold or more or authenticity abnormalities ("NO" in STEP 2). ), Specifically, for example, when bills determined to be untrue due to a conveyance abnormality are included, the count of the bill P in the normal counting mode is displayed on the display section 32p of the operation display unit 32. Guidance is indicated to be performed (STEP 4). In addition, the guidance display in the display part 32p of the operation display part 32 may be display by a message, or the color display of LED may be sufficient. Thereafter, the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 is in a mode selection input wait state (STEP 5a). Then, by the operator, the operation display unit 32 gives an instruction to the controller 50 whether to perform the normal counting mode or the relaxed counting mode when the banknote P is recounted (STEP). 5b).

Or instead of giving guidance to the display part 32p in the operation display part 32, and giving an instruction | indication to the control part 50 of which mode counting process the operator will perform by the operation display part 32, The control unit 50 may automatically select which mode counting process to perform. More specifically, when all the bills P 'sent to the reject unit 30 in the normal counting mode are bills determined to be non-real because of more than a kind or authenticity, the recount of the bills P is determined. The relaxation coefficient mode is automatically set as the processing mode at the time of carrying out. On the other hand, in the banknote P 'sent to the reject part 30 in the normal counting mode, when banknotes other than banknotes determined not to be genuine because of gold or more or authenticity are included, specifically, for example, When the banknote determined not to be genuine by conveyance abnormality is contained, the normal counting mode is automatically set as the processing mode when recounting the banknote P. FIG.

Here, when the normal counting mode is set as the processing mode by the operator or automatically (STEP 6), the recount of the bill P is performed using the first determination threshold. Description of the recount of the banknote P using the first determination threshold is omitted since it is substantially the same as the above-described flow of the operation. On the other hand, even when the relaxation coefficient mode is set as the processing mode by the operator or automatically (STEP 7), the banknotes P placed in the stacked state on the placing unit 14 are from the banknotes P at the lowest layer. One by one is sent out to the conveyance part 22 in the box body 12 by the feeding part 16, and is conveyed by this conveyance part 22 (STEP 8). At this time, the identification counter 24 identifies and counts the banknote P (STEP 9). Here, since the counting mode of the banknote P is the relaxation counting mode (“NO” of STEP 10), the control unit 50 is based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting unit 24. The banknote P is determined using the judgment threshold (STEP 12).

Here, as a mode in the counting mode function, when the 1st type of money mixing deposit mode, the 2nd type of money mixing deposit mode, or the 2nd type payment mode is used, as shown in FIG. 7, a 2nd determination threshold value becomes zero. In this case, all banknotes P other than the banknote P of conveyance or more are judged to be genuine, and are sent to the accumulator 26. Here, since the second judgment threshold is used as the judgment threshold ("NO" in STEP 16), the transaction counter associated with the paper stock of the banknote P corresponding to the second judgment threshold is increased by one (STEP). 18). On the other hand, when the said mode is not used, the control part 50 determines the bill P using the 2nd determination threshold based on the identification result of the bill P by the identification counting part 24. FIG. (STEP 12). Specifically, the control part 50 performs both the authenticity determination of the banknote P or the denomination determination, or the authenticity determination and the denomination determination. Here, when the banknote P is determined to be genuine by the control part 50 ("YES" of STEP 13), the conveyance part 22 sends the banknote P to the accumulator 26 and the accumulator Banknote P is integrated into 26 (STEP 14). At this time, since the second judgment threshold is used as the judgment threshold ("NO" in STEP 16), the transaction counter related to the paper stock of the banknote P corresponding to the second judgment threshold is increased by one ( STEP 18). On the other hand, when it is determined by the control part 50 that the banknote P is not genuine ("NO" of STEP 13), the conveyance part 22 returns the banknote P 'to the reject part 30 again. (STEP 15). Such an operation is repeatedly performed until the banknote P disappears from the mounting part 14 ("NO" of STEP 19). Then, when all the bills P placed in the stacked state on the placing unit 14 are fed into the box body 12 and the banknote P disappears from the placing unit 14 ("YES" in STEP 19), the control unit 50 outputs the sum of the trading counter corresponding to the first determination threshold and the trading counter corresponding to the second determination threshold (STEP 20).

When the control unit 50 outputs the sum of the transaction counter corresponding to the first determination threshold and the transaction counter corresponding to the second determination threshold, the sum of the transaction counter is displayed on the display unit 32p of the operation display unit 32. Is displayed. Alternatively, the total of this transaction counter may be printed by the printing unit 34 made of a printer, for example, and the total of the transaction counter may be stored in the storage unit 36. Here, when the control part 50 outputs the sum total of a transaction counter, and displays the sum total of this transaction counter on the display part 32p of the operation display part 32, or prints it by the printing part 34, it adds to the sum total of a transaction counter. The information related to the number of pieces of gold may be displayed or printed, and / or the information related to the amount of money may be displayed or printed with respect to the sum of the transaction counters.

In addition, when the control part 50 outputs the sum total of a transaction counter, and displays the sum total of this transaction counter on the display part 32p of the operation display part 32, or prints it by the printing part 34, it adds to the sum total of a transaction counter. In addition to the related information, information indicating whether each transaction counter has used either the first or the second determination threshold value to determine the bill can be displayed or printed. At this time, for each transaction counter, the information related to the total amount of money and / or the information relating to the number of sheets for each kind may be displayed or printed.

12A to 12C show examples of various information output from the control unit 50. 12A shows the total amount of money (usually $ 1,153 in the counting mode) of the count result of the bill P, which is determined to be genuine when the bill P is determined using the first judgment threshold. The total amount of money ($ 6 by the mitigating coefficient mode) of the count result of the bill P, which is determined to be genuine when the judgment of the bill P is made using the judgment threshold value, and the bill P according to the two modes described above. Indicates that the total amount of money ($ 1,159) of the result of the counting) is output from the control unit 50, respectively. In addition, FIG. 12 (b) shows the banknote P using the count result and the second judgment threshold of the banknote P determined as authentic when the banknote P was judged using the first judgment threshold. With the longevity (the column of the "spec" in FIG. 12 (b) in FIG. 12 (b)) of the total of the count result of the banknote P determined to be genuine when the judgment was made), and the total amount of money ($ 1,159), As the breakdown of the total amount of money, the total amount of money (usually $ 1,153 in the counting mode) and the second value of the counting result of the paper money P determined as true when the paper money P was determined using the first determination threshold value. The sum total amount ($ 6 by the relaxation coefficient mode) of the count result of the banknote P determined as authentic when the banknote P was judged using the judgment threshold value is output from the control part 50, respectively. .

In addition, FIG. 12 (c) shows the bill P using the count result and the second decision threshold value of the bill P determined as authentic when the bill P was determined using the first decision threshold. ) Is determined using the first judgment threshold, together with the total amount of money ($ 1,159 corresponding to the "total deposit" column) of the count result of the banknote P determined to be genuine. Banknotes determined to be genuine when the banknote P was judged using the number of sheets of gold (the normal counting mode) of the count result of the banknote P determined to be genuine when it was performed and the second judgment threshold value. It is shown that the number of sheets (specification of the normal counting mode) for each gold type of the counting result of (P) is output from the control unit 50, respectively.

The information shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C is displayed on the display portion 32p of the operation display portion 32 or printed by the printing portion 34 made of, for example, a printer. In addition, the information shown to FIG. 12 (a)-(c) may be memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 36, respectively. In addition, the information output from the control part 50 is not limited to what is shown to FIG. 12 (a)-(c). Each item of the information shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C is combined, or only a part of the information shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C may be output from the control unit 50, or Information other than the information shown to FIG.12 (a)-(c) may be output from the control part 50. FIG.

Thus, the control part 50 uses the 1st judgment threshold value, and when it determines the banknote P, the counting result of the banknote P determined to be genuine, and the banknote (B) using the 2nd judgment threshold value are carried out. When outputting the information relating to the sum of the count result of the banknote P determined to be genuine when the determination of P) is made, the information relating to the total amount of money is output or the information relating to the number of chapters of each sum of the sums is output. Or print both. In addition, at this time, the control part 50 uses the count result of the banknote P determined as genuine when it determined the banknote P using the 1st determination threshold value, and the 2nd determination threshold value. For each of the counting results of the banknote P determined to be genuine when the banknote P is judged, information related to the total amount of money is output, or information relating to the number of sheets for each kind of gold in the total, or Output both of them.

Next, the case where the double head function is used when performing the characteristic operation | movement of the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 shown to the flowchart of FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 is demonstrated below.

When the operator turns on the two head specification by the operation display unit 32, as described above, data management for two operators is performed. At this time, the transaction counter corresponding to the first determination threshold is the first operator. Is assigned to the second operator, the transaction counter corresponding to the second decision threshold. In addition, the two operators use the operation display unit 32 separately, and at this time, the ACCEPT key 32e and the START / STOP key 32c on the right side of the display unit 32p are used. Is used by the first operator, and the ACCEPT key 32i and the START / STOP key 32g on the left side of the display portion 32p are used by the second operator.

When performing the characteristic operation | movement of banknote identification counting apparatus 10 using a double head function, first, a 1st operator inserts banknote P inside the box 12, and identifies this banknote P. FIG. And counting by the identification counting section 24. And based on the identification result of banknote P by the identification coefficient part 24, the banknote P is judged using a 1st judgment threshold value, and a banknote is based on the judgment result of banknote P. (P) is selectively sent to the accumulation section 26 or the reject section 30. Here, the transaction counter of banknote P corresponding to a 1st determination threshold value corresponds to a 1st operator. In this manner, the normal counting mode is performed by the first operator.

Thereafter, the second operator places the banknote P sent to the reject unit 30 on the placing unit 14, and puts the banknote P placed on the placing unit 14 of the box body 12. Put it back inside. Then, the identification counting unit 24 performs identification and counting of the banknote P put again inside the box body 12. And based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting part 24, the banknote P is judged using the 2nd judgment threshold value smaller than a 1st judgment threshold value. Here, the transaction counter of banknote P corresponding to a 2nd determination threshold corresponds to a 2nd operator. In this manner, the relaxation coefficient mode is performed by the second operator. Thereafter, the controller 50 outputs information related to the sum of the transaction counter corresponding to the first determination threshold and the transaction counter corresponding to the second determination threshold. Here, when the information output by the control part 50 is memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 36, the information of the transaction counter corresponding to a 1st judgment threshold in the other area | region of the memory | storage part 36, and a 2nd judgment threshold value are here. The information of the trading counter corresponding to is stored separately.

As mentioned above, according to the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the control part 50 sends the identification result of the banknote P from the identification counting part 24, and based on this identification result, the banknote P ), And the conveyance part 22 is controlled to send the banknote determined to be genuine to the accumulation part 26 and to send the banknote P which is not determined to be genuine to the reject part 30. have. Here, the control part 50 uses the determination threshold value of any one of the 1st determination threshold value and the 2nd determination threshold value smaller than a 1st determination threshold value when determining the banknote P. FIG. And the control part 50 first determines the banknote P using the 1st determination threshold value (that is, in normal counting mode), and sent the banknote P which was sent to the reject part 30 by this determination ( The banknote P determined as genuine when P is judged using the second judgment threshold (i.e., in the relaxation coefficient mode) and the judgment of the banknote P is performed using the first judgment threshold. Output information related to the sum of the trading counters (counting results) of the banknotes P determined as authentic when the bills P are judged using the transaction counters (counting results) and the second determination threshold. It is.

Moreover, according to the banknote identification counting method of this embodiment, the banknote P is put into the banknote identification counting apparatus 10, and identification and counting of this banknote P are performed by the identification counting part 24. Based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting part 24, the banknote P is judged using a 1st judgment threshold value (that is, in a normal counting mode), Based on the determination result, the banknote P which is determined to be genuine is sent to the accumulation unit 26 and the banknote P which is not determined to be genuine is sent to the reject unit 30. Then, the banknote P 'sent to the reject part 30 is put back inside the banknote identification counting apparatus 10, and identification and counting of this banknote P are performed by the identification counting part 24, Based on the identification result of the banknote P by the identification counting part 24, determination of banknote P is made using the 2nd judgment threshold value smaller than a 1st judgment threshold value (namely, in the relaxation coefficient mode). Do it. And when counting banknote P using the 1st determination threshold value, the counter (counting result) of banknote P determined to be genuine, and 2nd judgment threshold value of banknote P When the judgment is made, information relating to the sum of the count counters (counting results) of the banknotes P which are really judged is output.

According to such a banknote identification counting apparatus 10 and a banknote identification counting method, when the banknote P is judged using the 1st judgment threshold value (that is, in normal counting mode), the banknote P judged as genuine. Transaction counter (counting result) of the bill P which was determined to be true when the bill P was judged using the transaction counter (counting result) of the ") and the second judgment threshold (i.e., in the relaxation coefficient mode). Since the information related to the sum of) is outputted, it is not necessary to perform operations such as hand input of the counting result of the banknote P when determining the authenticity of the banknote P or the paper type judgment. The troublesome thing can be suppressed. In addition, when the banknote P was determined using the first judgment threshold, the transaction counter of the banknote P determined to be genuine and the banknote P were judged using the second judgment threshold. Since information relating to the sum of the transaction counters of the banknotes P which are determined to be genuine at the time is output, the authenticity in both the determination modes of the determination mode using the first determination threshold and the determination mode using the second determination threshold is true. The operator can easily grasp the information related to the sum of the transaction counters of the banknotes P which are determined to be.

In addition, in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment, in the control part 50, only the authenticity determination of the banknote P is performed based on the identification result of the banknote P sent from the identification counting part 24. FIG. In this case, the first judgment threshold value and the second judgment threshold value are the authenticity judgment threshold values, respectively. In this case, the control part 50 sends the banknote P judged as true ticket in the authenticity determination of banknote P as the genuine banknote P, to the accumulation part 26, and the banknote P which was not determined as true ticket. ) Is controlled by the conveying section 22 so as to send the banknote P 'to the reject section 30 as if it is not genuine. In addition, in the control part 50, when only the paper type judgment of the banknote P is performed based on the identification result of the banknote P sent from the identification counting part 24, a 1st determination threshold value and a 2nd determination threshold value Are the gold species determination thresholds, respectively. In this case, the control part 50 sends the banknote P in which the paper type was determined in the paper type determination of the paper money P to the accumulating part 26 as a real paper money P, and the paper money P which was not determined the gold type was determined. ) Is controlled by the conveying section 22 so as to send the banknote P 'to the reject section 30 as if it is not genuine. In addition, in the control part 50, when both the authenticity determination and the paper type judgment of the banknote P are performed based on the identification result of the banknote P sent from the identification counting part 24, the 1st determination threshold and As a 2nd determination threshold value, both of an authenticity determination threshold value and a denomination judgment threshold value are used, respectively. In this case, the control part 50 accumulate | stores the banknote P with which the paper type was determined in the authenticity determination of the banknote P, and the gold type was determined in the determination of the denomination of the banknote P as a real banknote P. While sending to (26), other banknotes P (banknotes P not determined by authenticity in authenticity judgment or banknotes P not determined by gold grade in gold grade determination) are not genuine banknotes ( The conveying section 22 is controlled to send to the reject section 30 as P ').

In addition, in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the control part 50 counts the banknote P determined as genuine when the banknote P was judged using the 1st determination threshold value. Information related to the total amount of the count result of the banknote P determined as authentic when the banknote P is judged using the result and the second judgment threshold value (see Figs. 12 (a) to (c)). And / or information related to the number of sheets of gold in total (see Fig. 12 (b)).

More specifically, in the banknote identification counting device 10, when two head operation is performed, two operators use the operation display unit 32 separately, and the operation display unit 32 has an ACCEPT key. A first control panel comprising a 32e and a START / STOP key 32c, and consisting of an ACCEPT key 32i and a START / STOP key 32g. The 2nd operation part is provided, and a 1st operator uses a 1st operation part, and a 2nd operator uses a 2nd operation part. And by a 1st operation part, a 1st operator makes judgment of banknote P using a 1st determination threshold value (in normal counting mode), and a 2nd operator makes a 2nd determination threshold value by a 2nd operation part. The banknote P is determined using (in the relaxation coefficient mode).

In addition, in the banknote identification counting apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the control part 50 adds to the information regarding the sum total of a transaction counter (counting result), and each transaction counter is a determination threshold value of any 1st or 2nd. Is used to output information indicating whether the bill P has been determined. More specifically, about the information output from the control part 50 shown to FIG.12 (a)-(c), the information concerning the normal counting mode is the determination of banknote P using the 1st judgment threshold value. The information related to the relaxation coefficient mode indicates that the banknote P was determined using the second determination threshold. At this time, the control part 50, with respect to each count result, information related to the total amount of money (see Fig. 12 (a) (b)) and / or information relating to the number of sheets for each gold type (see Fig. 12 (c)), respectively. Will output
